1 shows a side view of the rear part of a motor vehicle 2 with an embodiment of the motor vehicle interior device according to the invention 4 , where the vehicle direction based on the arrow 6 is indicated. The car 2 has a cargo space 8th on, the forward by the Rü backrest 10 a vehicle seat 12 in the rear row of seats, to the rear by a loading edge 14 and a cargo door 16 which is open here and a cargo hold opening 18 releases, down through the load compartment floor 20 , up through the vehicle roof 22 and to the sides through the body of the motor vehicle 2 is limited, with the cargo space on the sides 8th facing side trim parts 24 are arranged, of which in 1 only one can be seen.

Inside the hold 8th is a loading floor 26 above the cargo compartment floor 20 arranged. The loading floor 26 has a rear loading floor section 28 and a front loading floor section 30 on, at their facing edges over a hinge 32 are connected. The two loading floor sections 38 . 40 are each plate-shaped and dimensionally stable. The front loading floor section 30 is in a section of the rear cargo floor section 28 turned away, about a first pivot axis pivotally mounted on the motor vehicle 2 or on the side trim parts 24 arranged. For this purpose, the front loading floor section could 30 For example, have laterally projecting bolts into corresponding recesses in the side trim parts 24 protrude. The first pivot axis 34 extends transversely to the vehicle direction 6 and allows pivoting of the entire loading floor 26 around the pivot axis 34 ,

The hinge 32 forms a second pivot axis 36 around which the rear and front loading floor section 28 . 30 can be pivoted to each other. The second pivot axis 36 also extends across the vehicle direction 6 and parallel to the first pivot axis 34 , The hinge 32 is formed in this embodiment such that the tops 38 . 40 the rear or front loading floor section 28 . 30 regardless of the position of the loading floor 26 always enclose an angle of at least 180 °. This ensures that the top 38 . 40 the loading floor sections 28 . 30 form a coherent, flat surface in the normal position or use position, which can be easily loaded.

At the second pivot axis 36 facing portion of the front cargo floor section 30 is also a penetration 42 trained handle for manual operation of the loading floor 26 intended. Further, the rear cargo floor section 28 related to the vehicle direction 6 shorter than the front loading floor section 30 formed, whereby the handling of the loading floor 26 is simplified, especially since the operator is not so far through the load compartment opening 18 in the hold 8th to bend to the penetration 42 to get.

The below the loading floor 26 arranged fixed load compartment floor 20 can into a rear cargo compartment floor section 44 and a front cargo compartment floor section 46 be divided, wherein the rear cargo compartment floor section 44 below the rear cargo floor section 28 and the front cargo compartment floor section 46 below the front cargo floor section 30 is arranged when the loading floor 26 in the in 1 is shown position. In the rear cargo compartment floor section 44 is a storage compartment 48 let in, for example, the inclusion of a spare wheel (not illustrated) can serve.

The motor vehicle interior 4 also has vehicle-side locking means 50 on, the locking of the rear loading floor section 28 serve in a non-use position, as will be explained in more detail later. The locking means 50 can on the load floor 20 be provided in the present embodiment, however, on both side trim parts 24 arranged. Here are the locking means 50 integral with the side trim parts 24 formed by the locking means 50 together with the side trim parts 24 were produced in an injection molding process.

In the illustrated embodiment, the locking means comprise 50 three previous approaches 52 . 54 . 56 that from the side panel parts 24 protrude inwards and opposite the load compartment floor 20 are formed sublime. The above approaches 52 . 54 . 56 are in the vehicle direction 6 arranged in such a way that between the above approaches 52 and 54 a first upwards opened admission 58 and between the above approaches 54 and 56 a second upwards opened recording 60 is trained. The first and second recording 58 . 60 are thus in the vehicle direction 6 arranged one behind the other.

Below are further features of the motor vehicle interior 4 and the operation thereof with reference to 1 to 3 described. In 1 is the loading floor 26 in a normal position. Both the front loading floor section 30 as well as the rear loading floor section 28 extend in a horizontal plane 62 , allowing easy loading and unloading of the loading floor 26 is possible. In this normal position of the loading floor 26 is the front loading floor section 30 opposite rear edge 64 the rear cargo floor section 28 on a lead 66 supported on the motor vehicle 2 , in this case at the sill 14 the cargo compartment opening 18 , is arranged. In the darge set normal position of the loading floor 26 is the rear loading floor section 28 in a use position in which loading the top 40 the rear cargo floor section 28 is possible.

Now wants the operator to the spare wheel (not shown) within the receiving compartment 48 arrive or another division of the hold 8th achieve this, the procedure is as follows. First, the loading floor 26 using the punch-through 42 in the region of the second pivot axis 36 raised as in 2 using the arrow 68 is indicated. As a result, the rear loading floor section pivots 28 around the second pivot axis 36 due to its own weight down, so that the total length of the loading floor 26 in the vehicle direction 6 shortened. This has the consequence that the trailing edge 64 the rear cargo floor section 28 from the lead 66 triggers and the rear loading floor section 28 thus further to the second pivot axis 36 can be pivoted down, as indicated by the arrow 70 in 2 is indicated.

By pivoting about the second pivot axis 36 enters the rear loading floor section 28 into a non-use position, which in 3 is shown. In the non-use position, the rear cargo floor section extends 28 in a vertical or at least inclined plane 72 , Now the operator can load the floor 26 lower it again, leaving the trailing edge 64 , which now the load compartment floor 20 facing, in the first shot 58 or the second shot 60 be introduced as in 3 is shown. The above approaches 52 and 54 - possibly 54 and 56 - Prevent further pivoting of the rear cargo floor section 28 around the second pivot axis 36 and cause a secure locking of the rear cargo floor section 28 in the non-use position. In this non-use position is the trailing edge 64 the rear cargo floor section 28 both at the load compartment floor 20 as well as the locking means 50 supported.

How out 3 shows, is the front loading floor section 30 around the first pivot axis 34 pivoted and thus tilted when the rear loading floor section 28 locked in the non-use position. Here is the front loading floor section 30 so inclined that this in the vehicle direction 6 is inclined downwards. This causes a particularly secure storage of the cargo (not shown) on the top 40 of the front loading floor section 30 when the rear cargo floor section 28 is in the non-use position.

Furthermore, it is off 3 it can be seen that the rear cargo compartment floor section 44 which is in the use position of the rear loading floor section 28 still from the rear loading floor section 28 was covered ( 1 ), in the non-use position of the rear cargo floor section 28 is now accessible, so that the operator easily to the spare wheel or the like within the receiving compartment 48 can get. In addition, there is a particularly high rear area of the cargo space 8th created, the down only through the rear cargo compartment floor section 44 limited, whereas a front portion of the cargo space 8th continuing through the front loading floor section 30 of the loading floor 26 is limited to the bottom. The rear Ladebodenab section 28 in the non-use position thus causes a load compartment division, in which prevents cargo from behind between the front cargo compartment floor section 46 and the front loading floor section 30 can get.

4 shows a further function of the motor vehicle interior 4 , So can the front loading floor section 30 together with the rear loading floor section 28 from the in 1 shown normal position about the first pivot axis 34 be pivoted in a substantially upright stowage position, as indicated by the arrow 74 is indicated. Furthermore, the rear loading floor section 28 relative to the front loading floor section 30 around the second pivot axis 36 be pivoted in a stowed position, as indicated by the arrow 76 is indicated, in which the rear cargo floor section 28 parallel to the front loading floor section 30 is arranged. In this position, the lower surfaces (no reference numeral) of the rear and front loading floor section are located 28 . 30 to each other. The front loading floor section 30 is dimensioned such that the front loading floor section 30 in the stowed position in a lower height than the backrest 10 of the front of the loading floor 26 arranged vehicle seat 12 extends. In this way, the loading floor 26 on the one hand saves space and ensures the other hand, an unobstructed view to the rear.
